Hadith #399
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَن
َا شُعَيْبٌ عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ أَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يُصَلِّي إِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً بِاللَّيْلِ كَانَتْ تِلْكَ صَلَاتَهُ يَسْجُدُ السَّجْدَةَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ بِقَدْرِ مَا يَقْرَأُ أَحَدُكُمْ خَمْسِينَ آيَةً قَبْلَ أَنْ يَرْفَعَ رَأْسَهُ وَيَرْكَعُ رَكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ ثُمَّ يَضْطَجِعُ عَلَى شِقِّهِ الْأَيْمَنِ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَهُ الْمُنَادِي لِلصَّلَاةِ
Isnad Chain
أبو اليمان
English Translation
It was narrated from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet ﷺ used to pray eleven rak'ahs at night — that was his prayer. Each prostration lasted as long as it takes one of you to recite fifty verses before raising the head. He would pray two rak'ahs before Fajr, then lie down on his right side until the caller came for prayer.
